"Industrial Revolutions" In A Different Light?
"Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them? Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you? The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives."
-Carol S. Dweck

This quote relates to the Industrial Revolutions video because they both create a sense of inspiration within the readers or watchers. My thinking regarding the quote and the video is that sometimes we surround ourselves with people that do not challenge us and by doing that it ensures that we will never be able to grow at all. We will never be able to grow as a person in our mindset. I really like the quote and the video because they teach you that no matter what we are able to grow if we let ourselves and surround ourselves with the right people. The video shows what people are capable of and the quote tells people how they can reach their maximum capacity of greatness. Both of these pieces of literature are wonderful for creating a spark of inspiration within people.
The quote by Carol S. Dweck and the short video we watched in class align with each other. The attitude of both shows dignity and passion for their lives. The quote is passion for what's in there life and how to grow, the video shows passion by the amazing tricks that the dude had to practice and work on for years and his love for the opportunity to figure out and learn the tricks. The message of the quote is to not spread yourself with negative energy and negative people, but rather spread yourself with love and people who are willing to help and watch you grow. It’s a pretty defined message that I think everyone should follow and role with. The video did just about the same thing. Showing true passion and how to surround yourself with things and people you love who are a positive impact on your life. The quote is more on mindset though. You have to have the right mindset to get rid of the negativity in one's life. It doesn’t just poof and disappear when you want it to. You have to be strong and want to change your life for the better. It’s all about how you view one another and how you plan to change as well as grow in your future and in your life. The movie however is more based on action. You got to do, not just wish. If you wanna go for something you either give it your all or stay wishing. It’s all about how you think you are and who you think you can be one day. Both the quote and video shows a lot of passion, attitude towards growing and change, and serve almost the same message in a totally different way.

This quotation relates to the bigger message behind the Industrial Revolution video. I can imagine that this person doing bike tricks on the video wasn't really good at this tricks at first. One day this guy decided to seek for experiences and look for adventures and he started this sport. Sometimes challenges are good and they make us who we are at the end of the day. People tend to hide errors or mistakes but it's not worth it if you're not going to overcome and thrive for the best. Dweck's quote is the motivation that made this person able to record the video and able to overcome challenges and live his life constantly growing. I want to believe that pushing myself and sticking to it even when it's not okay that's the type of mindset that helps people grow. I think the first step to accomplishing this is believing in yourself. Believing that you can do it and that there's nothing better than growing throughout life.
Carl S. Dweck’s quotation perfectly sums how people need to be inspired to bypass the whole competitive mindset of sports and use our time to actually improve at our sport. Taking on a growth mindset helps you bypass the fear of falling and looking bad at what you are trying to master. For example in the video Industrial Revolutions showing off Danny Macaskill’s abilities on a bike the person watching said video would feel inspired to work on their passion with the same enthusiasm Danny must have to become that good at biking. Inspiration can be given off by a video, speech, or just someone’s story however it is key to achieving a growth mindset and truly improving at your desired sport.
The quote shows the industrial revolution because the drive the people of the USA had. They were focused on making the things in there daily lives better and by doing that they kept trying to improve how they did things. They kept trying to make things better. The inventors did show off what they made, but that inspired the next person to make something even greater. Just like in the video industrial revolutions. He worked really really hard to improve his biking skills to be able to accomplish the feet he did in the video. The video is a video that shows you someone great, in order to get you motivated to take a self reflection, and go and try to either be a biker, or better your self in some field.
After reading the quote, I feel like it is very relevant to my peers and I. To sum up the quote, it talks about your success compared to some of the things you're not as good at. It challenges you to think if you are making yourself better. In the quote it says, why waste time doing things you're already good at? In stead challenge yourself. I can relate to this because there have differently been times in my life where instead of doing the "new" thing, I choose to do the "old" thing, because Im much more confident in things I already know how to do. I also like this quote because it challenges people to get better/practice things they are new to, that maybe aren't so confident with. All in all, I like this quote because it easily relates to my peers and I on a daily basis.
This quote relates to the Industrial Revolutions video, because Carol Dweck pushes everyone to push boundaries which is what Danny MacAskill does in freestyle biking. MacAskill is constantly redefining the freestyle biking world by pushing the boundaries that are set in the biking world. From tightrope riding to flips, everything he does took practice and he shows that he doesn't intend to stop growing as a rider.
The video definitely required a lot of practice and hard work and getting better to achieve what happened in the video. Dweck's challenge is very important. If people had the same mindset that Dweck is wanting people to have, so much more could be achieved and enjoyed. This is more the approach myself and others should take to school and hobbies in which someone wants to achieve something. They need to focus on that want and work towards it.
This quote represents the video that we watch in class "Industrial Revolution" by showing us that there isn't a reason to hide your abilities. You can use your abilities to show how great you are at what you do and what you want to do. Carol S. Dweck explains in her quote that you shouldn't be suppressed by your surrounding peers nor should you be surprised by your fears. She says you should be able to strive and defeat that challenge will be presented to you on your journey. In the video, it shows a person trying to walk on a rope line, but very unstable, while when he uses his bike to ride the rope line. He finds himself perfecting the rope because of his bike and I feel that his bike is his getaway from all the pressure and eyes staring at him. This rope is another great example for his overcoming of a challenge that he wasn't able to do without his bike because his bike is his passion, and that passion is what keeps him going on and on without hesitation.
The quote given relates to the "Industrial revolutions" video, because the quote and video alike are mainly about attitude and mindset. I think that anything is possible if you set your mind to it and work hard. The guy in the video obviously wasn't just able to control his bike like that but he was probably hard working and had a good attitude and didn't want to give up. I think that people get stuck in a bubble or just level off with how good they think that they can get, when in reality there is always room for improvement. So, I think that if you find something you are truly passionate about and work hard for you goal and have a growth mindset and a positive attitude anything is possible.
The quote relates to the Industrial Revolutions video, because Carol Dweck explains to us that everyone has to push themselves and its about how you look at things and how your mindset and your attitude are very important. If you work at something then you will get better and if you think that guy was just born with the ability to ride a bike like that then you don't understand how life works. He had to spend hours upon hours upon days and even years to be as good as he is now and he can always get better. This relates to the Industrial Revolution video because both inspire you to go out and do the thing(s) you've always wanted to do.
This quote can relate to the video because the guy in the video wasn't always good at riding bikes, there was a time where he wasn't good and he got better and I can guarantee that he had to go through some hard times. The bigger picture that the bike video is trying to portray is that if you try hard enough at something and really work at it and get better then you can accomplish anything and for this guy it’s doing tricks on bikes but for someone else it could be sports, a job or maybe even getting into a college they want. This quote relates because it’s basically saying that they're hard parts in your life and it’s how you deal with them and learn from them and that’s what defines who you are.
It relates to the video because Danny does not perfect his tricks every single time. The video shows you what he does good but doesn't show the fails and flaws that he had during the time spent doing the tricks. Stop trying to prove how good you are. Everyday you can get better and achieve higher goals. "Good, better, best. Never let it rest, until your good is your better and your better is your best." Our minds says hey I'm good, I should just stop there. No, we push ourselves farther and achieve our highest goals. Danny fails everyday but keeps riding on to make and finish his videos to show young adults to pursue your dreams even if you fail every single day.
The quote relates to the industrial revolution video because the video shows how great Danny Macaskill is in BMX. The video only shows him perfecting his tricks but he obviously went through a lot of trials and errors practicing to perfect his skills. This shows how anything is deemed achievable if we set our minds to do things. This could influence young people to always try new things and not be afraid of failure.
This quotation aligns with attitude because it is asking you to challenge yourself to make yourself better, rather than sticking to the safe way of doing things so that you don’t end up failing. The fear of failure is what keeps people from trying new things. Thinking that someone is smarter than you, better looking than you, or even wealthier can make doing anything new seem like a daunting task. The industrial revolution is a perfect example of the idea of challenging an idea. There was no way to know whether or not people would be able to build huge skyscrapers, create new vehicles, or other things that came from the American Industrial Revolution. America is known for having people who challenge the ordinary. People who have no ancestors in America; then becoming American legends for doing or creating something that no one else ever dared to.
